The highly regarded teenage author, Joe Craig, visited Kingsway Park High School recently.

Joe worked throughout the day with different sessions for Year 7 and 8 students about creative writing and his inspirations behind his Jimmy Coates series of books.

The sessions were also extended to Year 5 and Year 6 students from local primary schools, Sandbrook Community Primary School and St Mary’s C of E Primary School.

All students thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the day’s events.
